U.S. Plays Catch-Up with China on Cyber Warfare | The Fiscal Times

Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel’s plan to add 6,000 warriors and $5 billion to the Pentagon’s cyber warfare unit is an ambitious one. Like many ambitious plans made by the Pentagon over the years, the federal government cannot do it alone.

To build this force, DOD is going to have to work with private companies, defense contractors and other outside vendors. The reason for this is simple: there isn’t enough expertise inside the Pentagon’s five walls to build a cyber army that’s capable of facing off with China, a country with a cyber force much more sophisticated than the one at DOD.
